There used to be signs on the approaches to Brighton, saying "Brighton welcomes careful motorists". From the early days of the abolition of the "red flag" act in 1896; and the annual commemorative run on the first Sunday in November (an event with attracts the largest number of spectators in the world) Brighton has been synonymous with the motor car. Which is arguably the greatest invention of the twentieth century. Certainly in terms of social mobility. But not in Green-and previously Labour controlled- Brighton. Oh,no. The motor vehicle is taboo. We must walk or cycle. Which means we should all be young and fit. Or ride around on heavily-subsidised smelly pollution buses. Bring back the car to Brighton: you know it makes sense.

Your not serious surely? The speed trials have been a part of Brighton's history for over a century. What exactly do you think one weekend a year of Motorsport will do to the environment? Britain leads the world in Motorsport, and it brings millions of pounds to the British economy, not to mention the local revenue that the many thousands of visitors will bring to the town. If you are being serious, with Tate greatest of respect, you are being very short sighted,

Of course they had a choice. What nonsense. Damned if they do, damned if they don't! The recommendation to cancel them came from officers, not the Greens. I was told that a persuasive case by the organisers convinced all councillors they should continue.

I think its rather simplistic to declare anything involving an engine to be anti-Green. It was revealed that one of the green councillors on the committee is a former chairman of a mororbike club, so hardly against his principles. Anyway, glad councillors of all colours did the sensible thing and allowed this to continue.

I'm glad it got this result but let's not forget that all that's happened is that it hasn't had landlord's consent withdrawn. It can now go-ahead in September but with amendments, subject to guidance from the Safety Advisory Group. The organisers are going to need to put together a decent plan that will go through the same process that all major events go through.
